Thief frightened female shop workers at Derby's train station

POLICE investigating a burglary at Derby's Midland Railway Station have released images of a man they would like to speak to.

A man entered a shop at the station and hid in a store room frightening a female shop worker.

PC Paul Wilson, investigating officer, said: ”A female employee noticed the man staring at her as she walked past the store room. He did not say anything to her or move.

“The woman was incredibly frightened and ran to the front of the shop where she alerted her colleague.”

The two employees left the shop and told a male member of staff at the station what happened.

He went into the shop and saw the man leaving through the back door with a box of crisps.

The male member of staff then gave chase to the man who threw the box and climbed over the gate into platform one, and after a brief struggle between the two, made his escape crossing the lines between four platforms.
